Soon we were all sitting down at the table in my now shabby dining room, eating quietly. I was sitting on the left side of Skye, Rock was on his right, Lumina was on the other side of Rock, and Nicole was on my other side. The kids were at the Villa.

Skye cleared his throat. "Ahh...heheh...well, how is Fawna, Lumina?" He asked. Lumina's eyes narrowed.

"It's Luna, Skye." She corrected politely.

"Ohh..." He rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. A few seconds later, there was small talk at the table, and I glanced at Rock, and dropped my fork, on purpous.

"Excuse me." I said politely and bent down. Sure enough, I found that Rock had already started. He was caressing Skye's leg, and, when I came back up, Skye looked at me and I winked flirtaciously. He gulped nervously, and looked back at Lumina, who was eyeing Rock and I suspiciously. Oops. Guess I would have to explain later.

Now that Skye thought I was the one caressing his leg, I looked up from my plate and saw Rock's arm under the table, which, that goodness, nobody had noticed. Good. He was still at it. I looked at Skye again, just a flirty, and excused myself to the bathroom. I got up and hid behind the hall so no one would see me. Skye at first didn't notice, but now he did. The caressing should have stopped. It didn't. He looked down, and, I saw horror on his face, and he looked as if he jumped ten feet into the air. "Bathroom- bathroom, I need to go to the bathroom." He stuttered, and flew past me, not seeming to realize I should have been in there. Silently, I went and sat back down.

Strike one.

"What are you two doing?" Lumina snapped when she realized Skye was out of hearing distance. Nicole looked up from her food and grinned.

"I have no idea, but it looked like Skye pissed his pants when he realized Rock was the one doing that to his leg, and not you, huh Julia?" She asked, and I grinned as we high-fived. Lumina groaned.

"Please, just don't try anything else tonight, okay?" She asked us, exhausted. Rock and I nodded our heads like good little children, although we knew that wasn't going to happen.

We still had two more to go.

When Skye sat down again, everytime he got up and started moving, Rock would make race car noises. I can admit, that even got annoying for me, but it was hilarious to see the look on Skye's face when he did it. I can't say the same thing about Lumina's face, though. She was glaring. Hard. Not to mention she was holding her knife in a position that sent shivers up my spine.

Still, it was worth it.

"Oh, Skye. We heard that you just had a horrible time with Muffy when Julia left." Nicole commented airily. I was sure this was one that was going to hit him hard. I knew it was going to make me laugh, though. "I even heard you had such a horrible time that you turned gay! Why, tell me, how is Griffin as a lover? You can tell us the truth, we won't tell."

Strike two.

I swear, he forgot how to breath when he heard the word gay. I had no offense to it, but it was funny to see his face, because I knew he was straight, and somebody telling him there were rumors going around he was gay was about to explode. No, not with pride! With embarrassment, of course.

He gulped when he saw the confused look on Lumina's face, and then one of complete understanding. He knew if she believed this and told Romana, the whole valley would know of it by morning. "Why, I was wondering why you didn't get anymore dates, Skye! The valley leaves me out on everything. Tell me, how long?" She gushed. i was amazed that sweet little Lumina believed this. I was sure if the trick were played on Rock, he wouldn't even believe it. And that, my dear friend, is about the worst thing that could happen to a person in the valley. Be stupider than Rock.

. . .

Outside The Door

"What does gay mean, Hayden?" Alice asked her older brother cutely. They had, of course, snuck out when Romana had fallen asleep watching some show about hoes. Why, they had heard Daddy calling Muffy a hoe just that morning! And, if he called Muffy a hoe, hoes must not be a good thing, because Muffy didn't have a good reputation. But, in the tv, they said something about a garden, too. Why would anybody want to use somebody like Muffy in a garden? She didn't like getting dirty and despised work, so, how would she do any good in a garden? Oh, the wonders of the young mind.

"It means that two people hug and kiss each other and stuff." Hayden was distracted, obviously, because he had his head stuck in the door trying to listen, whilst Amy was standing on top of Hunter trying to see through the window.

"No, idiot!" Amy yelled from across the house. "It means two boys kisses each other and stuff!" She explained. She was the more wordly of the two. Hayden just liked to play with the animals and dream about Luna, even though he was quite young. The male brain must develope that part of the brain quickly. The other parts, Amy wasn't that sure of. She wasn't even sure they developed, after seeing her Father at such an old age without any knowlege that she wanted to hear. As far as Amy knew, her Daddy just liked women and food.

"Eeeewww!" Alice and Hunter shrieked. Hayden just rolled his eyes.

"I said two people!" He shouted back. "And boys are people!"

"You didn't say boys, though!" Amy shot back. And the rumble began, although they didn't notice that Hayden had pushed the door a little too far and he and Alice could fall in any moment...

. . .

Inside The House

All the time we were talking, Skye was white,and I almost felt sorry for him. Almost. That didn't mean I would quit the plan, though. No, I was much too selfish. It reminded me of the time when we were dating and I saw Skye flirting with Muffy. It made me mad, and I wouldn't speak to him for weeks, and got mad and had a fight with Muffy that almost lost our friendship. Not that we had one now. It was more of an aquiantance thing. Anyway, I was selfish. I wanted him to myself only. Me and me. No one else. I accepted that I was selfish, though, unlike some people.

"Yes or no, Julia?" Lumina asked me, breaking my train of thought. I was confused, and Nicole snickered.

"I think she had a brain fart." She commented, and Rock roared with laughter, while Lumina just looked irritated. I swear, I think that's permenently marked on her face; a look of irritation. I rubbed the back of my head sheepishly.

"What did you ask again? I wasn't listening." I admitted. Lumina shook her head.

"Good god, does she ever listen? As bubbleheaded as Muffy, she is." Lumina muttered as she stabbed her steak. Was she going to get rid of that knife anytime soon? It was really creeping me out.

"Hey!" I screeched.

"Anyway, I asked you whether or not what Nicole just said was true. You said you had a new lover, and you were going to show us him this evening. Well, she said that was what you told her." Lumina answered me. All the words were common enough, but they didn't fit right. Since when did I have a new lover. Nicole and Rock were grinning, and Skye looked like he was going to faint. From his cooking or the news just announced, I couldn't tell. About to retort, Nicole put a hand on my mouth and kissed my cheek.

"Why, yes. She was! Poor thing had such a horrible time with Skye, it turned her off of men. I'm her new lover! Oh, and Skye, I don't see why you didn't keep her. Good in bed."

Oh. Shit. I need some asprin.

. . .

Outside Of House

"Oh my god!" Amy screeched.

"What?" Hayden was irritated, that was for sure.

"Mama's kissin her friend, Nicole! She likes girls!" Amy screeched, but, too bad for her, Hayden was a little too shocked by that news, and happened to feel a little queasy. Being him, he fell through the door, with little Alice tumbling behind him. On their way in, they managed to tumble all the way to the table at hit it, causing the plate of steak to fall.

Well, hell. That was gonna take awhile to clean up.

. . .

Good? Bad? Horrible? Questions? Suggestions? Sorry, I'm on a roll. Anyway, I decided to take a poll and start a new story when this one is over, or when I think I can update both of them freely. Which, will be soon, in saying I only have to go to school this week. Anyway, the story ideas are below, and I want you all to vote on which one I should start. I'll probably have the answer in a few chapters.

She's Not Just A Pretty Face

Summary- When Melody moves to Mineral Town, Grey immedietly dislikes her, and calls her a whimp, stating that no woman could run a farm alone. So, they take a bet on whether she could turn the rundown farm into a succesful one in a year. What does Grey bet? Marriage. Grey/maincharacter.

Crystal Farm

Summary- Mary- the woman and love of Grey's life, not to mention wife. Well, that was until clumsy Crystal moves into Crystal Farm south of Mineral Town.

Thief

Summary- (Thief!) She had screeched when she saw the handsome silver haired man about to pick one of her cucumbers, his hair sparkling in the moonlight. She didn't realize how this 'thief' would tunnel his way into her heart and life, when she saw him at first, though. She was too concerned about winning the Cooking Festival to care about anything except her prize winning recipe.

Rosie

Summary- Believe it or not, it all started with a chicken named Rosie. Bella was hurrying to get to the Poultry Farm in time to get the medicine to save it, but happened to run into a man in a blue cap with the letters UMA on it.

Those are the stories I have, and would be willing to start any of them. And, I want to thank you all for reviewing last chapter. That was the most I got for one chapter so far! So, please, don't stop reviewing, because I like to hear your opinions!
